All of the Rune combos should give bonus armor and MR too

Straight up, every Rune combo gives bonus stats, but games feel super snowbally, and I think part the blame lies on the fact that most Rune pages used to have 9 armor and 12 MR in there, or those stats could be reasonably used on any Rune page for any champion.

Now, if you want any extra MR or armor to start the game, you have to take Resolve, and you only get +5 to ONE of the two resistances, or +8 at ten minutes.

Every Rune combo, regards of which two of Resolve, Precision, Domination, Sorcery or Inspiration, should give some MR and armor in addition to the "adaptive force" or the health from resolve. I don't know if Riot realized just how much that extra 9 armor or 12 MR helped to prevent being crushed in lane if you happen to be picking your champion before your lane opponent who decides to counter pick you.

Basically, the Rune combinations shouldn't ONLY give offensive stats. Yes, I know that taking Resolve as your primary gives you health, but to be honest if it gave half as much health and an extra ~10 armor and MR, I think it would probably be better in most cases.

So yeah, that's all.

tl;dr Riot should have the extra stats you get from your Rune combinations always give some armor and MR, because the loss of those stats from most Rune pages in the old system hasn't been properly made up for, while MORE damage has been added, which blows.

Problem is less resistance on squishies coupled with stronger electrocute and high base level scaling duskblade and more lethality. 1 item duskblade users killing people with one ability is the issue, while barely ahead. If they gut duskblade, having it lose most of it's damage and have it scale like lichbane (requiring more items with AD scaling), that would help massively. AD's were built to rely on weaving in autos in between attacks and none of them are doing so as their base damage combined with the base damage from duskblade and electrocute is broken. Most of them don't even need ults to one shot now. Most AD champions need to be massively reworked if they are to keep that level of damage.
